Takeda
The Takeda were a samurai family based in Kai Province, descended from the Minamoto. Branches held the governorships of Kai, Aki and Wakasa before the Sengoku period.
Takeda Shingen took control of the family from his father and expanded from Kai. His campaigns against Uesugi Kenshin included the battles of Kawanakajima, beginning in 1553. After Shingen died in 1573, his son Katsuyori inherited the domain; the Takeda were destroyed in 1582.
